If you want me to explain how the KAB mods, or any of the mods save maybe the Rega and Isonoe feet turn the 1200 detrimental for DJing I can.
I would also ask how much scratching you would be doing, as there are way better sounding carts then the M447 and there could be a better mixer for you then the ttm56.
If I had the money for a set-up designed for mixing with focus on sound quality, I would get: 2 Technics 1200 M3D or later models, a Soundcraft Urei 1620LE rotary mixer, and Audio Technica Dj carts (forget the name, and havn't used them, but have heard good things). If you wanted to scratch, replace the mixer with an Allen and Heath Xone 02, rane ttm56 or ecler nuo 2/3, and the carts with Shure M44Gs.
If you were going to buy new, I would get M3Ds or later models over the Mk2s. If you were going to buy used, Mk2s can be had for cheaper but I've seen few used 1200s with tonearms not abused.
Headphones: senn 280, hd25-1, ultrasone dj headphones. I curently use beyer dt770-80s because they're what I have, but I'd like to get hd25-1s. The beyers are too big and don't provide for one sided monitoring.
Save your money and buy records!
